Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of communication single-tube towers, and in particular, to a communication single-tube tower with a protective function. Background Art

[0002] In modern communications networks, single-tube towers serve as critical infrastructure for signal transmission and reception, and are widely distributed across urban, rural, and mountainous areas. While traditional single-tube towers have met communications needs to a certain extent, with the rapid development of communications technology and the increasing demand for communication stability, heat dissipation and waterproofing issues have become increasingly prominent, seriously impacting the normal operation and service life of communications equipment.

[0003] From a heat dissipation perspective, single-tube communication towers typically house a large number of communication devices, such as base station transceivers and power supply equipment. These devices continuously generate heat during operation, causing the temperature inside the tower to rise continuously. However, the heat dissipation design of traditional single-tube towers is relatively simple and inefficient. Firstly, natural ventilation is significantly affected by environmental factors. In harsh conditions such as high temperatures and no wind, ventilation is ineffective and heat cannot be dissipated out of the tower in a timely manner. For example, in the hot summer, the ambient temperature is already high, resulting in extremely low heat exchange efficiency, which can easily lead to heat accumulation within the tower, causing equipment to operate in a high-temperature environment for a long time. Secondly, the relatively closed interior of a single-tube tower makes it difficult to effectively dissipate heat. Heat generated by the equipment accumulates within the confined space, creating a heat island effect. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures accelerates the aging of electronic components in communication equipment, leading to performance degradation and a significant increase in failure rates.

[0004] Waterproofing issues also pose numerous risks for traditional single-tube communication towers. Exposed to the outdoors for extended periods, single-tube towers are inevitably subject to rainwater intrusion. Single-tube towers are typically constructed from multiple sections. Inadequate sealing measures at the joints between sections and at cable entry and exit points make them susceptible to rainwater leakage. For example, traditional sealing methods may employ simple rubber gaskets or sealants. However, over time and under the influence of natural factors like wind, sun, and rain, rubber gaskets can age and deform, while sealants can dry out and crack, detach, and lose their sealing effectiveness. Once rainwater seeps into the tower, it can severely damage the communication equipment and electrical wiring within. Rainwater can cause electrical shorts, leading to equipment failure or even damage. It can also accelerate corrosion and rusting of metal components, reducing the strength and stability of the tower structure.

[0005] In summary, the problems of heat dissipation and waterproofing in traditional communication single-tube towers need to be solved urgently. It is of great practical significance and urgency to develop a communication single-tube tower with more effective protection functions. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the above defects, the present invention provides a communication single-tube tower with a protective function, which solves the technical problems of a communication single-tube tower with a protective function in the prior art.

[0007] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of the present invention provides a communication single-tube tower with a protective function, comprising: a first tube body having a first tube cavity for accommodating a wiring harness, the upper end of the first tube body being a first upper connecting portion;

[0008] The second tube body has a second tube cavity for accommodating the wiring harness, the lower end of the second tube body is a second lower connecting portion, the second lower connecting portion is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first upper connecting portion, and an installation gap is formed between the second lower connecting portion and the first upper connecting portion;

[0009] A connecting ring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first upper connecting portion and is located within the installation interval. The connecting ring has an annular connecting portion, and the annular connecting portion has an air inlet hole that is arranged through the height direction. The air inlet hole is used to connect the second tube cavity and the external environment.

[0010] For example, in a communication single-tube tower with a protective function provided by at least one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting collar is provided with a wire harness mounting portion, the wire harness mounting portion extends into the second tube cavity and has a plurality of wire harness mounting holes for connecting the first tube cavity and the second tube cavity;

[0011] The wire harness installation portion is located in the middle of the annular connecting portion and protrudes upward relative to the annular connecting portion, so that the peripheral wall of the wire harness installation portion can form a side block for the air inlet.

[0012] For example, in a communication single-tube tower with a protective function provided by at least one embodiment of the present invention, a first through hole is provided on the circumferential side wall of the connecting collar, a second through hole corresponding to the first through hole is provided on the circumferential side wall of the second lower connecting portion, and a third through hole is provided on the circumferential side wall of the first upper connecting portion;

[0013] The first through hole and the second through hole are connected by fasteners to achieve the connection between the connecting ring and the second tube body; the first through hole and the third through hole are also connected by fasteners to achieve the connection between the connecting ring and the first tube body.

[0014] For example, in a communication single-tube tower with a protective function provided by at least one embodiment of the present invention, the first upper connecting portion is vertically slidably arranged on the connecting collar, so that the first tube body can be lifted and lowered relative to the connecting collar.

[0015] There are at least two third through holes, which are vertically spaced apart on the side wall of the first upper connecting portion, so that after the first tube body is lifted and lowered relative to the connecting ring, the first through hole can be connected to the third through holes at different heights through fasteners.

[0016] For example, in a communication single-tube tower with a protective function provided by at least one embodiment of the present invention, the annular connecting portion extends vertically and blocks the third through hole for communicating with the first through hole;

[0017] The second lower connecting portion further has an avoidance groove for accommodating an end portion of a fastener passing through the first through hole and the third through hole.

[0018] For example, in a communication single-tube tower with a protective function provided by at least one embodiment of the present invention, the second tube body further has a second upper connecting portion, the second upper connecting portion and the second lower connecting portion are respectively located at two ends of the second tube body, and the second upper connecting portion and the second lower connecting portion are straight cylindrical;

[0019] The middle portion of the second tube body is a second tube main body. The second tube main body is in a frustum shape, and its cross-sectional diameter gradually decreases in a direction away from the first tube body.

[0020] For example, in a communication single-tube tower with a protective function provided by at least one embodiment of the present invention, the first tube body is a straight tube, and the second lower connecting portion of the second tube body located above the first tube body, the connecting ring connected to the second lower connecting portion, and the upper connecting portion of the first tube body are stepped and contracted toward the middle.

[0021] For example, in a communication single-tube tower with a protective function provided by at least one embodiment of the present invention, the second tube body has at least two, and the second upper connecting portion of one second tube body is connected to the second lower connecting portion of an adjacent second tube body through another connecting ring.

[0022] For example, in a communication single-tube tower with a protective function provided by at least one embodiment of the present invention, the second lower connecting portion of the second tube body located above, the connecting ring connected to the second lower connecting portion, and the second upper connecting portion of the second tube body connected to each other and located below are stepped and contracted toward the middle.

[0023] For example, in a communication single-tube tower with a protective function provided by at least one embodiment of the present invention, a maintenance platform is provided on the outer peripheral side of the annular connecting portion, and the bottom of the second lower connecting portion can be overlapped with the upper end of the maintenance platform.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present invention are:

[0025] In the present invention, a connecting collar is positioned around the outer periphery of the first tube body, and a second tube body is positioned around the connecting collar. This positions the joint between the first tube body and the connecting collar, and the joint between the second tube body and the connecting collar is also positioned below. Specifically, the first tube body is straight, and the second lower connecting portion of the second tube body, located above the first tube body, the connecting collar connected to the second lower connecting portion, and the upper connecting portion of the first tube body form a stepped, tapering relationship toward the center. The thickness of the connecting collar provides shielding from top to bottom, while the thickness of the second lower connecting portion also provides shielding from top to bottom, making it difficult for rainwater to directly enter the joint when it naturally falls. Even if a small amount of splashing rainwater does contact the joint, gravity forces it to slide down rather than seep into the tower, significantly reducing the possibility of rainwater leakage and effectively protecting the equipment within the tower. Furthermore, water easily accumulates in the side joints under the influence of rainwater. Long-term accumulation of water in the joints can accelerate corrosion of metal components. When the connection seam is located at the bottom, water is not easy to accumulate in the seam, which reduces the risk of corrosion of the connection parts due to water accumulation and reduces the structural strength, and extends the service life of the communication single-tube tower.

[0037] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention.

[0038] To simplify the drawings, only portions relevant to the invention are schematically depicted in each figure; they do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, to simplify the drawings and facilitate understanding, in some figures, only one component with the same structure or function is schematically depicted or labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one" but also "more than one," and "several" includes "two" and "more than two."

[0039] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0040] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Furthermore, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0041] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "up", "down", "left", "right", etc., and the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0042] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] like Figure 1~Figure 2 As shown, it shows a communication single-tube tower with a protective function in one embodiment of the present invention. The main structure of the communication single-tube tower is composed of a first tube body 1 and a second tube body 2. The first lower connecting portion 103 of the first tube body 1 is arranged on the base 6. The cross-sectional diameter of the first upper connecting portion 102 of the first tube body 1 is smaller than the cross-sectional diameter of the second lower connecting portion 203 of the second tube body 2, so that the second lower connecting portion 203 can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the first upper connecting portion 102, and an installation interval can be reserved between the second lower connecting portion 203 and the first upper connecting portion 102, so that the connecting ring 3 can be installed in the installation interval. The installation method can be achieved by fasteners, such as bolts, to achieve a detachable connection, so that the first tube body 1, the connecting ring 3 and the second tube body 2 form a stable connection.

[0044] At the same time, if Figure 1~Figure 2As shown, the connecting collar 3 is sleeved around the outer circumference of the first tube 1, and the second tube 2 is sleeved on the upper portion of the outer circumference of the connecting collar 3. This ensures that the joint between the first tube 1 and the connecting collar 3 is located below the connecting collar 3, and below the second lower connecting portion 203. The first tube 1 is straight, and the second lower connecting portion 203, the connecting collar 3, and the first upper connecting portion 102 are stepped toward the central axis of the connecting collar 3. The thickness of the connecting collar 3 provides shielding from top to bottom, and the thickness of the second lower connecting portion 203 also provides shielding from top to bottom. In conventional methods, when multiple tubes are overlapped, the joints are located on the side. In outdoor environments, single-tube communication towers are subject to long-term rain erosion. Conventional side joints are easily exposed to rainwater. As rainwater flows down the tower, it can seep into the tower along the joints, damaging internal wiring and equipment. Positioning the joints at the bottom makes it difficult for rainwater to enter the joints. Even if a small amount of splashing rainwater does contact the joints, gravity forces it to slide down rather than seep into the tower, significantly reducing the likelihood of water leakage and effectively protecting the tower's equipment. Furthermore, side joints are prone to water accumulation due to rain, and prolonged water retention in these joints can accelerate corrosion of metal components. Positioning the joints at the bottom prevents water from accumulating there, reducing the risk of water corroding the joints and weakening the structure, thereby extending the service life of the single-tube communications tower.

[0045] Furthermore, when the joint is located downward, maintenance personnel can more easily inspect its condition, such as signs of looseness, wear, or corrosion, from the ground or with the aid of simple tools. Compared to side joints, the visibility of the lower joint is better, making it easier to detect problems and take appropriate measures, thus reducing maintenance costs and the risk of equipment failure.

[0046] Furthermore, in terms of stability and structural strength, the interlocking design of the first tube body 1, connecting collar 3, and second tube body 2 differs significantly from traditional methods. While the flange connection used in traditional single-tube communication towers provides a certain degree of stability, the bolted connection points are relatively concentrated around the flange plate, making them susceptible to localized overstress when subjected to uneven external forces. Poor welding procedures can create structural weaknesses at the weld seam, which can crack under prolonged vibration or external forces, compromising overall stability. The stability of simple plug-in connections relies primarily on insertion depth and friction, making them relatively weak against lateral and torsional forces. In real-world environments, single-tube communication towers are often subject to lateral forces such as strong winds. The interlocking structure, through its large contact area and uniform force transmission, effectively distributes lateral forces throughout the entire tower structure. This more evenly distributes external forces in all directions, reduces localized stress concentrations, and significantly improves overall stability, minimizing the risk of tilting or collapse due to excessive lateral forces.

[0047] Further, such as Figure 3~Figure 4 As shown, in actual use, the heat generated by the operation of the wiring harness and equipment inside the communication single-tube tower increases the air temperature in the second tube cavity 201. The hot air itself flows at a faster speed, thereby forming a negative pressure at the air inlet 302. The external low-temperature air can be supplemented from below to form natural convection, thereby achieving heat dissipation, reducing the temperature in the second tube cavity 201, and ensuring the normal operating environment of the internal equipment.

[0048] Furthermore, the vertical air inlet 302 has a relatively minimal impact on the tower's structural strength. Telecommunications single-tube towers are typically subject to various external forces, such as wind and gravity. The vertical air inlet 302 is positioned parallel to the tower's primary load direction (vertical), which, to a certain extent, avoids stress concentration caused by the opening. Compared to horizontal openings, vertical openings are less disruptive to the continuity of the tower's overall structure, better maintaining the tower's structural integrity and ensuring sufficient strength and stability when subjected to external forces, reducing the risk of safety incidents caused by reduced structural strength.

[0049] At the same time, it's important to consider that in outdoor environments, rainwater is a significant factor affecting the performance of single-tube communication towers. Even if a small amount of rainwater splashes into the vertical air inlet 302, gravity will naturally cause the water to flow downward, making it less likely to accumulate inside the air inlet 302 or flow back into the tower. However, inclined or horizontal air inlet 302 is more susceptible to water accumulation, increasing the risk of rainwater leakage. In summary, the vertical air inlet 302 effectively blocks rainwater ingress while ensuring excellent heat dissipation and ventilation, extending the service life of the tower's equipment.

[0050] In some examples, the connecting collar 3 is provided with a harness mounting portion 303. The harness mounting holes 304 in the harness mounting portion 303 establish a harness channel between the first lumen 101 and the second lumen 201. These mounting holes allow harnesses between devices at different heights within a single-tube communication tower to connect across the lumens, ensuring smooth electrical connections between the various devices and meeting the requirements for communication signal transmission and power supply.

[0051] After the external cold air enters the second tube cavity 201 from the air inlet hole 302, the outer wall of the wire harness installation part 303 will form a side block above the air inlet hole 302 because the wire harness installation part 303 protrudes upward relative to the connecting ring 3. During the rising process, the air will flow along the ventilation gap 7 between the inner wall of the second tube body 2 and the outer wall of the wire harness installation part 303, and then further flow into the second tube cavity 201. During the flow process, it will exchange heat with the hot air in the second tube cavity 201 to assist in heat dissipation.

[0052] When dust overcomes gravity and enters through air inlet 302 during windy weather, the outer wall of wire harness mounting portion 303 prevents the dust from reaching the wiring harness mounting location. In dusty environments, the outer wall of wire harness mounting portion 303 acts as a dust barrier, significantly reducing the amount of dust that enters the wiring harness mounting location. Dust can carry corrosive substances or cause electrical shorts, damaging the wiring harness and equipment. This protective structure reduces this risk, thereby improving the reliability and stability of communication device 5.

[0053] In some examples, the first tube body 1 and the second tube body 2 are typically made of metal, such as steel, and are formed into structures with corresponding tubular cavities through processes such as sheet rolling and welding. At the installation site, the first tube body 1 is first fixed to the foundation to ensure vertical stability. The connecting collar 3 is then placed around the outer periphery of the first upper connecting portion 102 of the first tube body 1. Fasteners are used to preliminarily secure the first tube body 1 and the connecting collar 3. The second tube body 2 is then installed. When installing the second tube body 2, the second lower connecting portion 203 of the second tube body 2 is placed around the outer periphery of the connecting collar 3. Fasteners are then used to secure the second tube body 2 and the connecting collar 3 together. The second tube body 2, the connecting collar 3, and the first tube body 1 are all pre-set with mounting holes for fastener installation.

[0054] Preferably, a plurality of first through holes 305 and fourth through holes 306 are provided on the circumferential side of the connecting collar 3, and the first through holes 305 and the fourth through holes 306 are equally spaced on the circumferential side of the connecting collar 3, and the first through holes 305 penetrate the connecting collar 3 in the radial direction of the connecting collar 3. At the same time, a second through hole 204 corresponding to the fourth through hole 306 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the second lower connecting portion 203, and a third through hole 104 corresponding to the first through hole 305 is provided on the side wall of the first upper connecting portion 102, wherein the second through hole 204 is communicated with the fourth through hole 306 and can be used for connection between the second tube body 2 and the connecting collar 3, and the first through hole 305 is communicated with the third through hole 104 and can be used for connection between the connecting collar 3 and the first tube body 1, that is, the connection position between the connecting collar 3 and the second tube body 2 is different from the connection position between the connecting collar 3 and the first tube body 1, and are distributed in sequence along the circumferential direction, such as Figure 9 As shown, the circumferentially distributed and diversely positioned connections enable the single-tube communication tower to better adjust its load state when facing external forces from different directions, adapting to a variety of complex operating conditions and environmental conditions. For example, in windy areas with variable wind directions, this connection method can effectively cope with the forces exerted on the tower by winds of varying directions, ensuring its stability. Furthermore, for single-tube communication towers of varying heights and load-bearing requirements, the number and location of through-holes, as well as fastener specifications, can be adjusted to flexibly meet various design requirements.

[0055] In some examples, the first upper connecting portion 102 and the connecting collar 3 are vertically slidably matched. Specifically, a sliding groove is provided in the middle of the connecting collar 3, and a slider that slides with the sliding groove is provided on the outer periphery of the first upper connecting portion 102, so that the first tube body 1 can be raised and lowered relative to the connecting collar 3, thereby realizing the adjustment of the overall height of the tower body.

[0056] At least two third through-holes 104 are vertically spaced apart on the sidewall of the first upper connecting portion 102. When the first tube 1 is raised or lowered relative to the connecting collar 3 to the desired height, the first through-hole 305 on the connecting collar 3 aligns with the third through-hole 104 at the corresponding height. Fasteners (such as bolts or pins) are then inserted to secure the first tube 1 to the connecting collar 3, thereby maintaining the stability of the tower at the adjusted height. This design allows the tower to flexibly adjust its height within a certain range, adapting to varying communication coverage requirements. For example, in areas with complex terrain, the tower's height can be precisely adjusted based on the surrounding environment and signal propagation requirements to achieve optimal signal coverage. This improves the quality and range of communication services compared to fixed-height towers.

[0057] In some examples, such as Figure 8 As shown, the lower part of the connecting ring 3 can block the third through hole 104 that is not connected to the first through hole 305, and the inner wall of the second lower connecting part 203 is also provided with an avoidance groove 207. The avoidance groove 207 is used to accommodate the end of the fastener, further protect the fastener, reduce the exposed part, and effectively prevent the erosion of the fastener by external factors such as rain, dust, etc., and reduce the risk of loose connection due to corrosion. The avoidance groove 207 hides the end of the fastener, making the appearance of the communication single-tube tower smoother and simpler.

[0058] In some examples, the middle portion of the second tube body 2 is the second tube body 205, and the second tube body 205 is in a frustum shape, so that the cross-sectional area of ​​the space gradually decreases from the bottom (close to the end of the first tube body 1) to the top (away from the end of the first tube body 1), and as Figure 5 As shown, when hot air is generated in the tower body, the air flow rate will be accelerated when flowing from the second tube body 205 to the second upper connecting part 202. The diameter of the second upper connecting part 202 is the smallest in the entire second tube body 2. Therefore, the air flow rate in the second tube cavity 201 corresponding to the second upper connecting part 202 is relatively the fastest. Since the air inlet 302 is arranged in this area, the negative pressure generated in the air inlet 302 is strengthened, and the air convection in the second tube cavity 201 is accelerated, thereby improving the ventilation efficiency.

[0059] Compared to a straight-tube structure, the frustum-shaped second tube body 205 increases the surface area of ​​the tube. When a single-tube communication tower is operating, the heat generated by the internal equipment is transferred to the tube wall through heat conduction. A larger surface area means more area for heat exchange with the outside air. More heat can be dissipated to the surrounding environment faster, helping to reduce the temperature inside the tube cavity, improve heat dissipation efficiency, and provide better heat dissipation conditions for internal equipment. The frustum shape allows the lower part of the tower to withstand greater pressure because the lower part has a larger diameter and a larger cross-sectional area, which can better disperse the pressure generated by the upper structure and its own gravity. This improves the stability of the structure.

[0060] like Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, it shows a communication single-tube tower with a protective function in another embodiment of the present invention, the tower body is composed of a first tube body 1 and at least two second tube bodies 2 overlapped, wherein the connection method between the two second tube bodies 2 is the same as the connection method between the first upper connecting portion 102 of the first tube body 1 and the second lower connecting portion 203 of the second tube body 2.

[0061] Specifically, the way the first tube body 1 and the second tube body 2 are connected via the connecting ring 3 is the same as that in the first embodiment, which will not be described in detail here, and the connection method of the two second tube bodies 2 will be described in detail.

[0062] It should be noted that to enable height adjustment, at least two fifth through-holes 206 may be provided on the second upper connecting portion 202 of the second tube body 2 located below. These fifth through-holes 206 are arranged vertically at intervals, similar to the arrangement of the third through-holes 104. The fifth through-holes 206 are used to communicate with the first through-hole 305 of the connecting collar 3. The second upper connecting portion 202 of the second tube body 2 located above can be used to receive the communication device 5. The receiving method can be referenced to existing techniques, achieved by overlapping a support platform and fasteners, and will not be described in detail here.

[0063] Further, such as Figure 7 As shown, an inspection platform 4 is provided on the outer periphery of the connecting collar 3, which can be connected by welding or fasteners. The bottom of the second lower connecting portion 203 overlaps the upper end of the inspection platform 4, providing additional support for the second tube body 2. Part of the load, including the weight of the second tube body 2 itself and the weight of the equipment it carries, is transferred to the inspection platform 4 through the overlapping surface. The inspection platform then distributes this load to the connecting collar 3 and the entire communication single-tube tower foundation structure, thereby enhancing the stability of the second tube body 2 and the entire tower.

[0064] At the same time, the maintenance platform 4 provides a workspace for maintenance personnel.
